Unravelling interspecific relationships among highland lizards : first phylogenetic hypothesis using total evidence of the Liolaemus montanus group (Iguania: Liolaemidae)

The South American lizard genus Liolaemus comprises > 260 species, of which > 60 are recognized as members of the Liolaemus montanus group, distributed throughout the Andes in central Peru, Bolivia, Chile and central Argentina. Despite its great morphological diversity and complex taxonomic...
